At MeriStation we were able to test a preview of the Phantom Liberty content as part of Gamescom 2023.You can read our impressions through this link, although we leave you an extract below: “V goes to Dogtown, one of the new areas introduced by Phantom Liberty. It is a black market powerhouse, though ruled by a dark figure. Located in Pacifica, NUSA Colonel Kurt Hansen claims it as his own. This time we pass by and meet Songbird, who asks us to go up to the roof to enjoy the view, although the goal is to inform us about the mission. As in the original game, the dialog options allow us to steer the story in one direction or another.”
